Before: KENNEDY and MARTIN, Circuit Judges; and HOOD, Senior District Judge.*
PER CURIAM. Defendants-Appellants Amador Brambila Gonzales and Silvestre Brambila
(“Defendants”) appeal their sentences as unreasonable. Both further challenge the trial judge’s
attempt to stay their periods of supervised release unless and until they re-enter this country after
deportation.
Having had the benefit of briefing and having heard oral argument, we find that the sentences
imposed were reasonable. In imposing periods of imprisonment on Defendants, the trial judge
considered the advisory Guideline range and the factors set forth in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a). We
therefore affirm their sentences of imprisonment.
However, applying this Court’s direction in United States v. Ossa-Gallegos, 491 F.3d 537

(6th Cir. 2007), we conclude that the trial judge erred in staying both Defendants’ periods of
supervised unless and until they re-enter this country. We therefore vacate this aspect of each
Defendants’ sentence.
Accordingly, we AFFIRM IN PART and VACATE AND REMAND IN PART for the
limited purpose of setting lawful conditions of each Defendants’ period of supervised release.
